France is in trouble. The scale of these riots is moving into unchartered territory. If there was a mass uprising even their military would struggle to contain it. Has a new #Revolution begun in France and will WEF #Macron keep his cool or will he 'lose his head'

West: Apple is a $3 trillion company and Elon Musk is the richest guy because, you know, capitalism 101… demand v. price.
Africa: Then, how come we are not a rich continent, given that we have the essential minerals that power iPhones and Tesla? 🤔
It’s a rigged system.
Similarly, many expensive consumer goods — Gucci, Louis Vuitton etc — make enormous profits while exploiting workers all over the world.
$1 an hour to make a $500 handbag.
The West’s human rights campaign focuses on all the irrelevant topics except money, which is the real obsession of the globalist oligarchs.
Would be good if the #US started to take care of American citizens in need of Housing + Health Care rather than continuing to pump hundreds of Billions into the Military Industrial Complex who don't really need their help...
The Global South knows the truth about the US and they are tired of us
Only Americans still fall this nonsense about us being the good guys and fighting for democracy
In other words the most propagandized population is ours
A US journalist asks the White House Press Sec. Karine Jean-Pierre over the perceived hypocrisy of the US🇺🇸 to be lecturing others on press freedom while seeking to imprison Julian #Assange under the Espionage Act.
Her response? ‘I’m not going to speak about Assange’, followed by virtue signalling about press freedom.
Any wonder the global south does not take US lecturing seriously anymore?
Watch @RobertKennedyJr demolish his credibility as a peace candidate in 4.5 minutes
A campaign that began as a defiant broadside against the war state and censorship industrial complex has suddenly pivoted to a bellicose exercise in pandering to rich Likudniks who seek war with Iran, the permanent violent warehousing of Palestinians and the criminalization of activism that challenges Israeli apartheid.
RFK Jr's host was Shmuley Boteach, a professional race hustler and alleged financial fraudster who owes the existence of his one-man political operation to the fortune of Sheldon Adelson, the late ultra-Zionist oligarch who called for dropping a nuclear weapon on Iran.
If RFK was not handed a massive wad of Benjamins to suck up to Shmuley, he was embarrassing himself for free, because he was clearly out of his depth.
During a rambling, militaristic diatribe, he referred to hijabs as "habibs," pronounced Chechnya as though he hadn't heard of the place until twenty minutes before the event, and offered a history of Israel's creation so cartoonishly propagandistic, it made Alan Dershowitz look like Ilan Pappe.
RFK Jr took it upon himself – or was taken on – to defend the Israeli army's brigade-sized invasion of Jenin, during which it bombed buildings with fighter jets and ran bulldozers through the middle of a refugee camp. He referred to the entire city as "a bomb factory," justifying the invasion because, in his words, "virtually one hundred percent of the people there are supporting terrorism." According to RFK, "everybody [in Jenin] is involved in bomb making" – there are no civilians there at all, therefore all are legitimate targets.
He did not seem to know that the Palestinian campaign of suicide bombing ended well over 15 years ago, or that the Palestinian Authority is legally forbidden from defending Palestinians from Israeli violence – its primary function is to act as an occupation subcontractor. According to RFK Jr, the PA has an official "pay-to-slay policy," in which "if you kill any Jew, you are going to get awarded with pay for life." Even professional AIPAC lobbyists shy away from this kind of baseless invective.
The half-baked hasbara escalated from there as RFK Jr cited Richard Kemp, a former British army officer who subsists on Israel lobby speaking fees, to claim "the conduct of the IDF, the Israeli defense forces when they go into Palestinian territories, is beyond anything in the world."
While Israeli army commanders openly adhere to the Dahiya Doctrine, named for the Beirut neighborhood Israel leveled in 2006, and which calls for targeting Arab civilians in order to turn them against their leadership, RFK Jr insisted that Israel's policy is to "avoid civilian casualties" – it exclusively attacks military targets.
It is hard to believe RFK Jr's ahistorical, belligerent line on Israel-Palestine was not bought and paid for by some pro-Israel billionaire. Which means he's just as corruptible as any Democrat or GOP hack. But if he actually believes what he's saying, he's also at least as pro-war as they are.
Sergei Lavrov in an interview with the media group "Radio and TV Portugal" said:
🔹️ Russia in the conflict around Ukraine is fighting not for territories, but for Russian people, its history, religion and language;
🔹️ Talking with Vladimir Zelensky is pointless, he does not act independently;
🔹️ Joe Biden shows no interest in a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine;
🔹️ The countries of the global South refused to sign joint statements with the West at a meeting in Copenhagen, which was dedicated to Ukraine;
🔹️ The statements of Western politicians initiated discussions in the public space about the likelihood of a nuclear war;
🔹️ Westerners who are “scared” by Russia should rather be afraid of their governments.
The climate crisis is spiralling out of control. 1000s of fish are washing up dead in the Gulf of Mexico because the water is too hot to hold oxygen.
This is a climate emergency.
Every day, Hachi walked to Shibuya station with Ueno for his commute, and he returned each evening to pick him up. This routine continued daily until May 21, 1925. On that sad day, Ueno left for work and never returned, after suffering a fatal cerebral hemorrhage while lecturing.
How many fcking videos of a total destruction of the AFU must I post till somebody wakes up?
All of them look nearly the same if it’s artillery, air strikes, copters or fighter jets or Lancets or any other drone.
All gets obliterated but who gives a fck about the weapons. The men are dying in masses.
What kind of world we are living in?
You fcking stubborn d@ckheads at NATO - it is Game Over - get these morons in Kiev in line and end this disaster.
This hypocritical European Union of blind US followers have reached its limits of inhumane politics. Don’t you understand that you all will lose everything if you continue to take this path?
I can’t understand why the hell the people aren’t protesting against senseless killing.
I am a Slav and I have nothing against other religions or beliefs - but I will never tolerate fascism. In Ukraine men still thinking they are fighting for their land - no it’s BlackRock county. Let the Russians live their lives. They haven’t started it.
Freedom is an illusion - best sold by the US.
You poor conscripts feed the fcking MIC machine with your bodies. COME TO YOUR SENSES!
Imagine the US were conducting a SMO in Ukraine they would transform all big cities in ashes. Russia safeguards own interests against US imperialism and Ukraine has become the playground. The only problem is that you have chosen the US side and became an opponent. Peace was possible but the same people you die for have threw it all in the trash bin.
Russians have been brothers for you and now you think a brotherhood with the US is possible for a better living? How on earth can you be so blind.
One day your mothers will protest, but you will be long gone.
“They know they lost. Their troops are falling apart. Today, Defense Minister Shoigu announced an offensive in the Liman direction. And this is clearly aimed, as far as I can tell, at Kharkov. So the Russians are now on the offensive in the northeast of the defensive lines. To Kharkov through Liman. And what is this man, Zelensky, most likely to do with weapons that are capable of hitting Russian territory? He will launch them. Why are you even giving him anything? Because he is desperate and wants to drag us into the war.”
What is important to understand, is that Zelensky is a puppet, and Ukraine a vassal state, this is a proxy war. Zelensky’s wishes are of no consequences, it’s the puppet masters, that have been engineering a conflict against Russia for decades, they are the ones sending weapons and money to drag and escalate the conflict.
From Diane's letter to Starmer:
"You are certainly no politician and will never be. I hoped you would be honest and fair and not a liar like Johnson, but you are no better. You used the very popular 2019 Labour Party manifesto, fully costed, to get elected as leader as you knew you would woo those who hadn’t already seen through you. Then as soon as you got elected you used the state of the country as an excuse to ditch every single pledge. You were also the cause of the 2019 election result although you can never bring yourself to admit it, and now you blame others. If you hadn’t dreamt up the sentence at the 2018 Conference about having another referendum ‘with the option to remain on the ballot paper’ Labour would have done better than they did by following the country’s wish to exit the EU, as happened in 2017. Jeremy Corbyn should have sacked you on the spot, but unlike you, he is an honourable man" https://t.co/NfcZMqf0D0
